HMO register

We maintain a register of licensed HMOs in the borough.

This contains the HMO licence number, address and the start and end date of the HMO.

Accessing the full register

If you also require the licence holder’s names and addresses, these details can only be disclosed as part of the full HMO register. The HMO owner’s names and addresses are personal data and cannot be disclosed.

The HMO register is produced from the database of licensed HMOs held by us. A report can be produced from the database and either posted to you as a paper copy or sent to you as a PDF version by email. It cannot be produced in Excel or CSV format.

Fees

We are authorised by the Housing Act 2004 (section 232) to recover our costs of producing and sending a copy of the HMO Register, and this cost is £50. 

How to request a copy

If you decide that you require a copy of the HMO register, email your request to privatehousing@merton.gov.uk and we will contact you to advise on how you can make payment.

View the register in person

Alternatively, you can make an appointment between 9am and 5pm on a weekday to come and view the register. There is no charge for this, but you would not be able to copy it.

To make an appointment, email privatehousing@merton.gov.uk.
